"Original
and funny, this book will entertain the pessimist that lurks in
all of us who don't root for the Yankees."-MIKE
GREENBERG, co-host of ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning and
author of Why
My Wife Thinks I'm an Idiot

From star running
back Byron “Bam” Morris’s interesting (and totally illegal) side career
to the 1950s Kansas City A’s sneaky relationship with the New York Yankees;
from French golfer Jean Van de Velde’s epic choke on 18 at the 1999 British
Open to the infamous Cleveland Ten-Cent Beer Night riot of 1974; from
Hungary’s bloody 1956 Olympic water polo match with the Soviet Union
to the definitive analysis of basketball coach Larry Brown’s sartorial
evolution and hoops maven Mike Fratello’s hair devolution -- if it’s
bad and sports-related, then it’s likely in The
Worst of Sports.

An uproarious collection of the most controversial and regrettable
moments in major pro and college athletics, with a sprinkling of the
obscure, The Worst of Sports is a compendium of abject failure, harebrained
decision-making, avarice, and rank stupidity--in other words, the stuff
that some athletes, and fans, are best at.

Whether you’re a casual fan or a face-painting zealot, you’ll find
plenty to root for (or against) in The Worst of
Sports.
